Description
A superabsorbent with an adherent silicone contact layer. The fast-wicking core contains superabsorbent polymers (SAP), which transform into a gel that draws in fluid and bacteria.The core's lock-away technology retains fluid effectively, preventing leakage and maceration. The dressing's fluid-repellent backing prevents strikethrough. The soft silicone adhesive ensures atraumatic dressing removal. Latex-free.
